Total Distance
6.10

41:42 ==> 6:50 per mile. I was bored of running slow and decided a couple of minutes into my run to go fast (for me) for a change. It felt good. My last mile, up a hill and then down the other side, took 6:12. I ran my Crockett Park - Green Hills Blvd loop, which has several rolling hills, so I feel pretty good about my time. I would have had a hard time going a few more miles at that pace, however. It's amazing to think I once ran a marathon at a slightly faster pace. I've got a ways to go to get to that level again -- but I can do it.

Bryan,

You'll have no problem running sub 3 hours. You seem to naturally run about 20-30 seconds faster than me. I probably have a much greater challenge than you. I'm excited to seem how it all turns out.

"see" not "seem"

I've been following your times, and I disagree with you. For example, you ran 7 miles the other day averaging around 7:12 per mile, and it sounded like you weren't pushing yourself too much. I really pushed myself today to get a 20 second faster time than you. You've also been running a lot more miles per week than me. If niether of us get hurt, I'll bet we're around the same speed at next year's marathon.
